The rebel princess

Year : 2021 | Country : CN | Nb of episodes: 68

My rate: 9/10

Synopsis :

Wang Xuan and Xiao Qi strike a deal for the sake of power. They marry before falling in love and join hands to protect their homeland. She is a woman who is no less than any man while he rose from humble beginnings.

The imperial family has become rotten to the core. The nobles are lavish with no regard for the people. Princess Wang Xuan and her childhood sweetheart, the third prince, become pawns of a prophecy that states, "To acquire thee is to obtain the world." Being pulled into the court matters, Wang Xuan is married off by her father to Xiao Qi, who comes from a poor family.

On their wedding night, Xiao Qi is forced to leave the capital. Wang Xuan is shamed and discouraged. The Helan Prince kidnaps Wang Xuan in order to seek revenge on Xiao Qi. The crisis they face becomes a blessing in disguise for the couple. Wang Xuan is moved and inspired by Xiao Qi's wish to bring peace and prosperity to the nation, and they fall in love.

However, circumstances threaten to destroy them. The Wang and Xie clans are fighting for power, the Empress Dowager schemes to separate husband and wife, the military has committed treason while the Helan clan has raised their flags in rebellion. Wang Xuan puts her life on the line to escort the third prince to safety. She leads an army of men to defend the last stronghold, hoping that Xiao Qi can arrive in time with reinforcements...

Main cast :

Zhang Zi Yi as Wang Xuan/ A'Wu

Zhou Yi Wei as Xiao Qi

Tony Yang as Ma Zi Dan

My thoughts on this drama :

I had not seen Zhang Zi Yi in any show since Memories of a Geisha. She's is another league, acting-wise. This show is a masterpiece. We're here in a pure historical and political drama. There is one huge difference with other dramas of the genre: the cast is not composed of young actors. We have rugged men, older women, but all of them are amazing. The story is thrilling and engaging. I saw a lot of criticism regarding Zhang Zi Yi playing a teenage girl at the beginning of the story: I beg to differ. She is totally believable in spite of her actual age.

The cast gave us a stella performance, and the OST is to die for too!

A Favorite ?

sometimes when i'm like. writing about character a from the point of view of character b, and character b does not like character a very much, people will read character b's feelings as mapping precisely onto my own. and this has resulted both in people feeling happy to shittalk a character I often actually really like (because they presume I agree with their dislike) or people being mad at me because how dare I slander their fave (by writing something where they're not universally beloved).

probably the funniest iteration of this was that while I was in supernatural fandom I had multiple people in the comments of fics absolutely convinced that I agreed with their hostility toward (depending on the fic) sam or dean. sometimes the same fic.

idk. just interesting to me to sort of see in that the seeds of the current trend of "narrator pov is correct and accurate pov, and if the pov disapproves or dislikes someone/thing then they're definitely morally correct to do so, and also accurately represent the author's opinions"

Sam Wilson, Black Panther and Scarlet Witch are standing on the pile of destroyed Stark Sentinels when they hear a distress call from Impossible City. They figured out that someone is Orchis is smart enough to come up with a dirty trick by sending the Stark Sentinels to attack Impossible City the temporary shelter for mutant refugees, instead of attacking the Avengers. Iron Man gets a distress call from a girl called Yuna Yang who tells him that Impossible City is under the attack. Yuna Yang is the girl who obtained the Nega-Bands which allows her to swap places with Carol Danvers by clanging the bands together like the previous wearers used to do on other Captains Marvels (e.g. Rick Jones used the bands to swap places with Mar-Vell a long time ago) and Yuna is from the recent Alyssa Wong's Captain Marvel series.

Anyways, the other Avengers - Iron Man, Thor, Vision and Scarlet Witch go out to destroy the Stark Sentinels in space. Yuna Yang clangs her Nega-Bands to let Carol take her place so that she could join her teammates. Meanwhile, the other two Avengers - Black Panther and Sam Wilson go to Orchis space station to confront Delroy Garrett Jr, a.k.a. 3-D Man the former Avenger. 3-D Man had joined Orchis because he believed that the Avengers were ungrateful for his actions with the Skrull invasion (actually 3-D Man killed Crusader the good Skrull who helped the heroes and this pissed a lot of heroes off), even claiming they threw him out of the Initiative instead of him actually leaving on his own. Sam Wilson and Black Panther fight 3-D Man until the latter (Black Panther) utters his Old Wakandan language to seemingly deprogram him from brainwashing. Black Panther manages to get into 3-D Man's mind and tells him that he's needed to help in shutting down the Stark Sentinels. It turns out that 3-D Man is an undercover agent and the hypnosis was planted into him to keep M.O.D.O.K from probing his mind and getting suspicious. Once 3-D Man regains himself, he manages to shut down the Stark Sentinels.

Hi. Hello. I know this is a gif of Ben and Jimmy, but the Tony energy in the millisecond of time here is killing me. Maybe Tony actually does something other than work and maybe he actually has a little fun eventually even if he doesn’t want to admit it. Anyway, goodnight
